During the [[War of the Ring]] it was Gorbag and Shagrat who came across [[Frodo Baggins]] who was paralysed by [[Shelob]]. They took Frodo back to Cirith Ungol where they would strip him of his posessions.

+

+

It was then that a fight broke out over who would get to keep the [[Mithril#The Mithril Coat|Mithril]], during the fight Gorbag was slain by Shagrat.
